Cuse opens -1.5 over Hoyas…

[690West]

We’re about to open up a can of whoop-ass tomorrow. You heard it here first.

 

[jdubs30]

Mack vs Carlos will be veryyyyyyyy interesting

 

[dasher]

I can't believe we are favored

 

[grepal]

I hope with SU in the house that there is a moment of silence for Dikembe. He brought alot to the rivalry in a classy way
Ahh, the finger wag.

Half a home court advantage. I view the game as -- who knows.

I'm almost afraid to watch this fiasco

I feel that way about any SU MBB game this year. If we get down by a lot I first turn the audio off. If it gets to be more, I leave it on but walk away from the TV for a time.

I started dvr ing the games years ago. One of the best things I have ever done. I start watching about an hour after it starts. The game flies by. That has been more important this year. More important than ever.

Good idea. I haven't gotten to that point yet but I often start 15-20 minutes late so I can zip through the commercials. I now often start NFL games at least 90 minutes late. When I FF through the commercials & 30 seconds between plays I can watch a whole game in an hour & a half, or less.

Fiasco? Dash, I already told you. CAN OF WHOOP-ASS

That line stinks to high heaven. They are begging you to take the Hoyas…

 

[Bulldog04]

That line stinks to high heaven. They aren’t writing begging you to take the Hoyas…

And it’ll be the biggest trap. Cuse by 10. I’ll be there cheering. Auto win

Football is absolutely horrible. If you sit there and watch a whole game, you’re just basically becoming everything corporate America wants you to be, a guy who buys a truck, eats a bunch of fast food, dies early and has other people sports more important than your own sports.


“The average NFL game has about 18 minutesof actual gameplay, out of a total game time of over three hours. This is because the clock is frequently stopped for: replays, timeouts, commercials, injuries, and extended half-time break.


The NFL has the least active time of the major sports, with baseball being the closest at just over 20 minutes. The NBA, NHL, and English Premier League all have over 45 minutes of live action on average”

Can’t watch. Strictly phone peeking until it gets ugly

 

[im4cuse]

I say without fear of contradiction that no one on the board hates a school like I hate Gtown.
Have lived in DMV for almost 50 years.

 

[Newhouser]

I haven't watched the Hoyas at all but I cannot imagine us being favored over anyone.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Wow, Georgetown really does suck!

 

[690West]

Slight bit of money coming in Hoya suxa. Down to -1 at a few books. Not much movement at all off the initial number.

 

[jncuse]

This opening line was largely 100% formulaic as usual for regular season college basketball. They are not typically trying to suck anybody in on most games (they set them on a model that is extremely close to KP)... they will move the line a point or so either way based on the action after posting, but there is no mystery in the opening part.. (In this case Georgetown was 1.3 favourites in KP, add the 3.5 home factor, and Syracuse would be -2)

That being said not surprised that the line is moving a little towards Georgetown after posting.

Now, If I only could figure out the actual relevant part in all of this - the betting!

 

[690West]

Down to a “pickem” at Caesar’s.

 

[upperdeck]

were there 2 common opp?
We played better VS ND
Albany both teams had big leads G-town expanded theirs and SU threw theirs away

Dikembe died??

 

[jncuse]

Dikembe died??

Unfortunately he passed away a few months back from brain cancer.

 

[690West]

Hoyas now favored by 1 at some spots. It’s amazing how little gamblers know about the can of WHOOP-ASS were abouts to open today. Poor bastards.

Got SU at +1.5 FanDuel
